A bright morning.
4 H before the war.
“I want to check on Dravin, please take care of the rest. I'll probably be back a little longer than usual, so I'm handing over a difficult task for you.”
“Hey, don't choose love like that. But, nevermind. Careful on the road.”
“Ya, I'm leaving.”
“Ya.”
\=\=\=
“Hoaamm.” I woke up from my bed, and somehow I remembered what happened last night. “I-it's a shame!! What kind of face should I show when I meet her?!”
I took a shower and dressed as usual, but. “Huh? Not missing.” The kiss on the neck given by Ari was not lost. “Umm, it might just be a matter of time.” I wanted to ignore it, but if my parents knew for sure it would be very troublesome.
Long enough after that.
“Mr, breakfast is ready. Your king and his queen are waiting for you.” (servant)
“Good, I'll be there soon.”
In the dining room.
“Iona, why are you using Scarf?” (Silvia)
“Eh? H-today is a little cold, so I used it.”
“So, if remembered soon winter, yes. Looks like there's a lot to prepare for that. Right too, last night I heard there was a party at your base, yes.”
“Eh, i-iya.”
“How? Was the party fun?”
“Y-yes, that's how it is. The party is quite lively.”
“Iona, after this I want to talk to you about something.”
“Honey, what do you want to talk about?!”
“T-no, not such a thing. Take it easy, I’an already promised him so don't worry.”
“So, yes already.”
After breakfast is finished.
Mom left because there was business and I'm currently with dad who wants to talk to me about something. “So dad, what do you want to talk about?”
“40 thousand troops from the kingdom of Otre and also Fanat, what is it you?”
“Eh?”
“And again, there will be a massive attack on this kingdom from the kingdoms of Bagdist, Kobnus, and also Reawers. Is that true.”
“B-how did dad know?”
“Haaaa, it turns out to be true, yes. You think I didn't realize it, I've realized it from the beginning, it's just that I was asked to not interfere in this business because it can make a mess.”
“Kak Risa, yes.”
“Yes, Risa's asking dad to pretend not to know about it. Therefore, fight. I am very confident in your abilities, and also with the ability of the people who help you.”
“So, thanks dad.”
“Dad also knew that there was one of them you liked.”
“A-father!!”
“Hahahaha, what happened last night? Then what's your reason for using that scarf, hmmm, is it possible that this is just my guess or that there's a kiss on your neck.”
“A-father!! Don't discuss, it's a shame!!”
“Hahahaha, it is true. Yeah, as long as you like it, Dad won't ban it. But remember, do not do anything that is out of bounds. Dad will support you, you deserve to get what you want.”
“Dad, thanks. I love you, father.”
“Ahhh, you haven't said that to your father in a long time. I love you too.”
After a long time.
In a special base, the commander's room.
“Ahh, your princess has arrived.” (Lucy)
“Where is Ari?” When I got here, I didn't see Ari at all.
“He is visiting Dravin, he said he will be home a little long.”
“So.”
“Then, why did you use a scarf in this warm room?”
“Eh, i-it.”
“Hmmm, kiss, yes.”
“K-why can you just conclude like that.”
“Hooo, it turns out to be true. My efforts last night were not in vain.”
“So it was you.”
“Hahahaha, sorry. Your relationship has made absolutely no progress, albeit a little cruel but at least. Ughh!!!”
“Don't do such a stupid thing again.” I hit his stomach very hard, being annoyed.
“Haha, m-sorry. But with this, your relationship will definitely get better. I vouch for him, besides there is no one in this world that he loves more than you. You just have to wait for the right moment, and that time will surely come soon.”
“But when?”
“Patience, I am sure he is also currently trying his best.”
“Employ as best as possible.”
“Princess, good morning.” (Lisa)
“Lysia, good morning.”
“There's a princess, yes. Good morning princess.” (Male)
“Ria, good morning too. Where's Rine and Sofia?”
“Ahh, they're checking the warehouse. Because of the many new items that came they both checked it.”
“Once, it looks like they're busy.”
“Oh yes, princess. Why are you wearing a scarf, isn't it warm in this room?”
“Eh, i-this is just.”
“Do not-do the news is true?!” (Lisa)
“K-news?”
“Yes, yesterday during the party you and deputy commander Ari did something m-m-mesum.”
“K-k-k-news ma-message what is it?!”
“Moooo, why are you all asking me such a thing?”
“Finally we are very curious, it is true that the vice commander Ari is very great genius and also a little handsome. He also has a very bright future, in addition, he can also lead the entire army and if counted his previous achievements so much and even arguably that he is a hero for this kingdom. We have to sort it out, with all the achievements he has ever achieved, whether he can deserve to be a companion of the princess.”
“Yet you're his parents.” (Lucy)
“This is for the best sake for princess. Someone very special like a princess also needs a partner who is just as special as well.” (Lisa)
“He must also be a noble, if such a deputy commander Ari will definitely get a greater chance to be able to get the daughter of Iona.” (Male)
“Built, yes. I don't think Ari likes things like that.”
“Huh?”
“He is serious, but he does not like troublesome things, especially if it keeps him constrained. Military affairs he could do whenever he wanted, but nobility all work had to be done immediately. In addition, the nobles also had to attend parties or other gatherings, but if it was Ari, he would definitely say this. Things like that are troublesome, I don't want anyone else to know about me anyway. Like that.”
“Daughter, you seem to know all about deputy commander Ari. Don't let your relationship go any further than this.”
“Mooo. I told you.”
Afternoon.
“Haaaa, I'm back.”
“Ari, you're back.”
“Iona, where are the others?”
“Their work is done all, so they go home first.”
“So, then I will help you.”
“Eh, t-thanks.”
Long enough after that.
“Finally done too.”
“Thanks for your hard work. Oh yeah, that scar on your neck..”
“I-ini.”
“Genesis last night, yes. Sorry.”
“I told you it doesn't matter, I'm not at all disturbed. But if anyone sees that, they will definitely.”.
“Not going TO’kok, after all they are also looking forward to it.”
“Awaited?”
“Then, I'll be back. Ari, good night.”
“Ya.”
Today I was quite confused as to what I would behave when I met him, but it turned out that such a thing was not to be confused. I just have to act like normal, as usual.
\=\=\=\=
“Haaaa, today is tiring.”
Today I went to another kingdom in the east, I got the information where the step object was. But I can't believe the fight to get it is so hard.
Somehow after going through so many obstacles, I managed to get it. ‘Gold Crystal Stone.’ In this way I have collected 2, and only 4 more. “Haaa, I hope it can be as easy as the first.” Today is a very exhausting day. “After the shower I want to rest, tomorrow is the time.” Time of attack, will be done in h-2 I still have time tomorrow night to attack.
H-2 attack.
“Alright, deputy commander of all troops is ready.” (Dirk)
“Good, stay on standby and wait for advanced command.”
“Good.”
“Ari, you're leaving?” (Lion)
“You have banned me, where may I dispute you.”
Iona slowly approached me. “I beg you, I feel that if you leave there will be something bad happening to you.”
“Haaa, fine, I understand.”
“Hmmmm, okay. Time to eat a snack first.”
“You sure?” (Lucy)
“What?”
“2 commanders from the Otre and Fanat kingdoms are on standby but we are relaxing here instead. Take it easy, the enemy's impromptu attack will at least begin tomorrow, the day before they get here.”
“You can be sure?”
“Because I have also prepared the same plan, besides that because the first night we had fun then the stamina of the troops has fully recovered. With this there is nothing to worry about anymore. Hmmm, this orange juice is very tasty.”
“Yes, that's the orange I got from my kingdom.”
“Hooo, it feels really good. Iona, try.”
“B-good.” Iona started drinking it. “Hmmm, this is delicious.”
“True’.”
“Iya.” Unknowingly he spent it all.
“How, do you want to add?”
“Ya.”
“Then...” Just as I wanted to add to his glass, he fell asleep and I caught him. “The medicine I bought turned out to be this effective.”
“You sure you want to go? You said if what the princess said could happen.”
“Yes, but I still have to go because Dravin can't think for himself and no one can give him orders, so I have to go. So Lucy, please take care of Iona for me.”
“Good, and you. Don't die, if you die. I, I.”.
Speech ceased. “Just calm down, I will try not to die.” I kissed Iona on the forehead, I didn't know whether or not to survive this war. But at least I should try first to get the result. “Lucy, once again. Please take care of Iona for me.”
“Good.”
“If it is like that, I can calm down. I'm ready.” I have prepared my preparations. “Alright colleague, time for you to show your ability.” I carry all the bullets made just in case. “I leave.”
“Yes, be careful and return safely.”
“Ya.” Maybe it'll be a tough farewell, but I hope we can meet again later. I'm expecting.
A few days after that.
The palace's.
“Sorry, but we've tried our hardest to save the deputy commander, but.”.
“No, not possible. Ari, NOK!!”
“None casualties from our side, it's all thanks to the sacrifice of the deputy commander.”
“DON'T!!! ARIII!!!!” Iona who saw Ari who had been lying stiff cried so badly.
The troops from the 3 kingdoms were repulsed, but the price to be paid was not cheap.
